Census Basics

The United States Census Bureau collects a vast amount of information on the residents and businesses of the United States. Finding the exact information you need can often be a daunting endeavor simply due to how much information is available. Here we try to make this task a little easier.

Although, the Census Bureau web site, and in particular, American FactFinder, is the definitive source for census data, there are other web sites and products that provide census and related data in a sometimes easier to use format.These include:

StatsAmerica - Current data from the Census, BLS, BEA and other agencies

US2010 - The US2010 project provides independent and peer-reviewed research examining changes in American society in the recent past.

Hard to Count 2020 - The goal of this map is to highlight the areas of the country that are hardest to count, and to make sure these hard-to-count areas & populations are fully counted to help ensure a fair and accurate census.

The Research Data Center (RDC), located at the Cornell Institute for Social and Economic Research (CISER), provides access to restricted microdata for statistical purposes only. Some data may be available through secure network services, other data is available only by going to the secure data lab at CISER.

All proposals must be submitted through the Center for Policy Research at Maxwell. Gaining access to the data is a lengthy process, so researchers are advised to begin early.
